Hfsa License and Ineendfarisn.

In P~lainfeld, \. j., what is called high
license obtains. The license Zee FOR ..sa-
looms is 500; for hotels, $500. There
arc at present eight saloons and FIVE
hotels Hceused 10 sell in;oxicants-two
more licensed places for the sale Of liquors
than the year previous 10 the raising d
the license fee. For two or three wears
past, covered by the high license era in
tie city, there have been a large number
Of fires, with SONG heavy losses. obviously
Of ineendiary origin. Until recently no
clue could be obtained as TO tile guilty
parties. At last, through the aid Of d
skiIlful detective, one Of tie ~incendiaries
was caught in the act Of setting fire TO a
house valued at $4,000. Six others were
subsequently arrested, and all are now in
prison awaiting trial. The citizens were
startled 70 find that all had been employed
either as night-Batchmen or connected
with the fire department. 1t transDires
also that they are men who have been in
the habit OF visiting the saloons, and that
in one Of them. which seems to have been
more especially their headquarters. they
we're wont TO meet, drink, and coneoet
their incendiary plans, agree upon what
buildings should be burned next, etc. It
IS significant also that the bar tender Of
this particular saloon Immediately ran
away and has not since been heard from.
What the high-license saloons OF Chicago
were to the eonspiripg anarchists. that
were the saloons Of Plainfeld to its incen-
diaries. Tie stories Of privation and neg
lect which have come to light from the
families OF these incendiaries are pitiful in
deed.
Plainfield derives, as a city, an aggre-
gate revenue Of about s, loco a year from
its liquor licenses. Several Of the fires
have involved losses Of $40. 900 and up
wards each. one of so, 0G0. The insurance
risks had become 50 great that BY soTne
companies they were refused altogether.
Economically the '.high-license fees ave
been but q poor equivalent for the losses of
property and of good reputation which the
city has sustained. But FOR the large
sounding license fees, acting as a bride to
a certain class of taxpayers. there is little
doubt that the saloons Of Plainfield would
ere this have been abolished. Without
these 'fhigh-license' saloons, wherein the
men in evil associations took first one step
downward in decentralization, and then an
other, preparing them for it, there would
probably have 1een no such epidemic Of
in~cendiarism, no such wanton destruction
of property. no such suffering and degra-
dation a. have oyertaken the families Of
the prisoners. When the liquor license
fees were raised Plainield was widely her
aided by the associated press as a fortu-
nate city which was TO enjoy the bless
ings 81 of high license. By %perpetuating
instead Of abolishing its saloons, it has,
however, been sowing the wind only to
reap the whirlwind in a harvest of incen-
diarism and crine.-Adcocate.

\ Western correspondent Of the New
York Times writes a long letter to that
journal concerning the prohibition move
ment in the Northwest. lie expresses him
self as being greatly impressed with the
strong and rapid growth Of temperance
sentiment in the agricultural States and
Territories. Where fifteen and twenty
years ago liquor flowed as freely as water,
where it was the ruling and popular Gus
tom to drink at all times and all occasions;
where saloons were far more numerous
and better %patronized than all other
branches of business put together, there is
now a feeling of bitter and determined
hostility to the existence of the liquor
traffic in any form. 1t is only the foreign
vote, it is SAID, in Michigan, Wisconsin,
Missouri and Minnesota, that keeps these
States from adopting constitutional prohi-
bition at once. Some classes of foreign
born residents unite in the opposition to
the saloon. Especially is this true of the
Scandinayians. The correspondent takes
pains to assert, however, that this wonder
fal upgrowth of temperance sentiment is
not attributable in any marked degree to
moral or religious considerations. Power
ty, envy, selfishness, in his view, are atthe
bottom Of the whole prohibition move-
mcnt in the Northwest. Such a sta tement
as this is a libel on the tens of thousands
of noble Christian mon and women who
have everywhere led inthe struggle against
the saloon, who for years have been giving
to the cause their time, their money, and
their prayers, and whose patient and IN
@earying labors have been the hope, the
inspiration, aud the impelIing cause Of the
whole moycment.-N. Y. Obseroer.

OF Mr. DorrelI's Withdrawal.

This action is undeniably a wise one,
since the fight Of the liquor men seems to
be aimed particularly against Mr.. Carney,
with no apparent reason except that he has
done his duty as a public officer. Such
men ought TO be sustained by the people,
and we feel sure will be.-Sdlem StaHlard.
The course pursued by 4 few ultra
liquor men has forced this action, and
made the Issue clearly defined. Every
voter in the county should understand that
the issue is plainly this: Shall We have a
Sheriff who will be controlled b. ''Boss'
French and his adherents, or shall we elect
a Sheriff who will conduct the office in the
interest Of the people? William Carney
did not seek the nomination at the hands
of the Republican Convention, he did not
as, the endorsement Of the Prohibitionists,
and no pledges were asked from him. lie
is the Peoples candidate, and they will
elect him.-S0aM JrseyRan.

IL is reported that the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue IS about to conduct an
investigation into the manufacture of beer
in this country. 1t is not understood that
the investigation viii be made in the in
terests Of temperance. yet it can hardly re-
suit in anything but good to that cause if
the work is honestly and thoroughly per-
formed. II is a %well-known fact that beer
is adulterated with many kinds Of harmful
and poisonous drugs, and rendered unfit in
every way for consumption by man or
beast. In its purcst state it is an intoxi-
cant, and productive Of disease and death.

Of a country store. It is good advice if you
want either dry goods or groceries. 1t is
equally good advice in politics. If YOU
want prohibition, ask for it By voting the
Prohibition ticket. If you want free
whisky, ask for it by voting the Demo
cratic ticket. If you want license for the
liquor traffic ask for it by voting the Re
publican ticket.
BE an honest voter and if you want any
thing ask for it with your ballot.

SHARP PRACTICE.

Within few days past, two book
agents have been arrested, brought
before the Police Court, and fined for
selling books of foreign manufacture
without licence. The Court very
properly dealt leniently with the
offending parties, ,'under the convic-
tion that there had, been no inten-
tional violation of the law. 1t is
not surprising that these particular
agents should have publicly and
openly piled their vocation, without
a licence, considering that many be-
fore them had done the same thing
from time immemorial, without any
question of legality having been
raised. Indeed, we are credibly in
formed that one agent applied to the
proper authorities some time ago, to
ascertain whether or not licence
was necessary, and he was informed
that it was not, as the law was silent
on the subject. One of the two
agents above referred to, Mr.. c. p.
Thompson, agent for A. l.. Bancroft
& Co. of San Francisco, having
heard about ten days ago that agents
were required to have licence,
made enquiries at the Interior De-
partment, and applied for one. As
he was about to 60 by steamer to
the other islands, lie was told that
he could procure the document on
his return, which he accordingly did
on the day following his arrival here.
Nevertheless, he was arrested, and
fined $40 for having sold books
previous to taking out the licence.
Altogether this may be pronounced
"sharp practice" AS long as the
licence system remains in operation,
visiting book agents should certainly
pay for the privilege of selling as
we'll as those with regular places of
business in the Kingdom. But as
they had not been previously re-
quired to do so, they should have
been notified of their liability, and
then if they omitted to qualify it
would have been time enough to
resort to legal proceedings.

A Sumter County Invention.

Wehaye had the pleasure of inspecting
what seems to US a very admirable seed
and manure drill, which is the invention
of Mr. j. 81. Nichols of Privateer Town.
ship, nine miles or SO from the town Of
Sumter. The sower is especially adapted
to the sowing of cotton or peas, either by
drilling or in hills. 1t will successfully
plant an acre of peas With ten quarts.
In sowing peas it will save SIS out Of
$22 on broadcastipg, including the work
and with better results.
Besides, this is q most efficient manure
drill. Itcan be readily. changed from a
pea sower to cotton sower by simply
changing the feeder that works in the
throttle of the machine. In planting
peas, the ground is opened by what looks
like small bull tongue, whilst two small
turn plows attached follow and cover the
sowing. In the case of cotton, q sweep
attached follows and covers.
This is one of the most complete things
ne have ever seen.
Mr.. Nichols will have this drill on our
market in a few days, aud our planters
would do well to examine it before sup
plying themselves elsewhere. We have
no interest in this matter save to encour-
age worthy man of our own soil in
calling attention to what we esteem q
good invention.-C Columbia Register.

Minister Pendleton's Return.


New YORK, January 3l.-The Hon.
Geo. A. Pendleton, Minister to Berlin,
who has just arrived here, will remain
in. this country about q month. He in
tends to rest two or three days, and will
then 60 to Washington to report 10 the
Secretary Of State. After that he will go
to his home in Cincinnati, where he will
remain for brief period before his de.
parture for his post Of duty. Being in.
terviewed he remarked:
The situation, when 1 left Berlin, was
very much strained. The Powers OF
Europe, from general feeling OF inae-
curity, have been making immense pre-
paraticns. There are tremendous mill
tary works and alarmnents on every side.
I heard Won Moltke say it was a coudi-
tion of affairs that must have solution.
1t may have changed since then. Mr..
Pendleton said he could not see that any
one in Germany desired war. In fact,
every effort Was being made to avoid it.
Bismarck was not ready for war now.
He would not be ready until the military
bills Lad been passed, and the army re.
organized. "In fact" added the ambas.
sador, "it seems to me that Bismarck
would accord heartily with any PROPOSE.
ton for peace with honor. Public
opinion does not count in Europe as it
does here. In America all questions are
discussed freely by the press, which in
reality forms public opinion. In Ger
many public policy is decided differently.
Won Moltke, Bismarck and two or three
others settle such matters. In France
Gen. Boulanger leads. One peculiar
thing would strike Americans in Europe,
that is how little the people influence
the policy of the rulers"
In speaking of the military bill Mr..
Pendleton said he was in the Reichstag
when the final vote was taken. BE ex-
planned that the effect of the bill was to
add $4,000 men to the army and organize
an effective force, divided in squadrons,
battalions, &C., different from the present
organization. The bill provided for its
continuance for term of seven years.
This would have done away with yearly
appropriations.

The Contagion OF Crime.

CLEVELAND, ONO, January 28.-
When Mrs. Cabelek murdered her three
children and then committed suicide the
newspapers published long accounts of
the crime. 4 Bohemian sheet here had
a very graphic description of the premi.
ses and long interviews with the surviv-
ing children. Frank Roth, Bohemian,
living at 10 Amos street, read the report
to his wife, two children and his mother
in.law. He lis well-to. do mechanic and
lived happily. His wife listened to the
account of the Cabalek murder, and then
had her husband to re. read it. He went
over it third time and then she took
the paper to neighbor's and had it read
twice more. On Thursday she sent her
mother to the grocery for yeast, and then
she took heavy dose of Trough on
Rats" and forced a dose of the poison
down the throat of her babe. When the
old mother returned she alarmed the
neighborhood, and doctors we're called,
but they came too late. The woman
died in great agony, and the babe expired
soon after. The doctors have kept the
affair to themselves and the police did
not learn Of it until to-day.

-Speaking Of the Southern Mutual

Speaking Of the Southern Mutual
Insurance Company, a gentleman Of
Athens, Ga, who knows whereof he
speaks says: II believe they do charge q
fraction more, but then you get it nearly
all back again. Last year they declared
a dividend of 70 per cent, and I would
not be surprised if they this year make
it 100 per cent.-or in other words
refund to the policy holders every cent.
they paid in for insurance. But fer that
foolish division of the funds, they would
have been doing this before now. They
don't want more than million surplus,
and the income from this sum, unless
there are an unusual number of fires,
will not only pay the expenses of this
company, but the losses also. What
better showing do you want? I tell you,
Athens don't half appreciate the South.
ern Mutual, or the stockholders properly
honor the gentlemen who manage it.
Why, there is hardly another parallel
case in existence, where such unswerv.
ing fidelity to o public trust has been
shown. The old Southern Mutual will
endure as long as our government stands,
for the gentlemen at its head elect none
to have voice in its management unless
confident of their honor and ability. All
those reports about exhorbitant salaries
are without foundation. No like set of
men in the world are given such small
salaries, considering the responsible posi-
tiOns they OCCUPY,
